What you'll learn in this expert session

The new vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are here, and patients are asking about them, courtesy of a far-reaching public awareness campaign about RSV. In this presentation, Prof Paul Griffin will provide a timely update on what treating health professionals need to know about these vaccines. This includes the current ATAGI recommendations on who should be vaccinated and when, their effectiveness, side effects, cost and the practical differences between Arexvy and Abrysvo; the two RSV vaccines currently available.
